CANVAS SERIES - 3 of 3

STRENGTHforgot to post this in December when I posted Serenity and PossibilitiesThe background of this canvas resulted from a few 'mistakes' I made with a different finish in mind - decided it was perfect for my bird cage. The true depth of colour is not depicted in the photographs unfortunately.

The small bird cages represent the three canvas projects, finalising the series

Strength Serenity and Possibilities

Canvas size 10x10"

Quote - 'today is all we need to nurture' (source unknown)

Ingredients for canvas

Old book paper and music sheets

A cardboard bird cage was used as a template

two gauges of wire, one for the cage and the other to add pearls and to 'sew' the cage to the canvas

About Me

I enjoy handcrafting of all kinds and in particular working with paper, fabric, lace and an amazing array of 'found' items, embroidery and sewing.
At present, I am concentrating on creating mixed media canvasses, mixed media off the page and fabric collage projects.
I like projects that are neat and precise when required, but also love getting my hands dirty.
I particularly enjoy projects that I can encapsulate all of my interests into the one project i.e. paint, fabric, lace, embroidery, paper, canvas and etc.
